Sandman: The Dream Hunters #1

Written by: Neil Gaiman
Adapted by P. Craig Russell

I can't believe I wasn't originally going to buy this book.

I never read the original Dream Hunters, mostly because I've never been as big of fan of Gaiman's prose as I am his comics work, and this project stayed firmly under my radar, until I saw some preview pages on-line.

Russell has always been an artist I've admired for his beauty, but in this issue he outdoes himself completely. This is absolutely a comics masterpiece. The lush colouring and the structure of his pages make this a pleasure to read.

It also reminds me of how much I miss the Sandman....
